The Slider Measure of social value orientation (SVO) was introduced as an improvement from existing measures. We conduct an independent assessment of its suitability compared with the Ring Measure and the Triple Dominance Measure. Using a student sample, we assess the measures’ test-retest reliability (N = 88; using a longer time interval than previous studies) and sensitivity to random responses. Analyses pertaining to convergent validity, criterion validity, and the advantages of a continuous over a discrete measure are presented in the online appendix. Compared with alternatives, the Slider Measure has the highest test-retest reliability. However, it classifies random responses in an unbalanced way, assigning the vast majority of random responses to cooperative and individualistic, rather than altruistic and competitive, orientations. For all three measures, we propose improved ways of weeding out inconsistent responses.

引入了对社会价值取向的滑块测度（SVO），作为对现有测度的改进。我们与“环规”和“三权制”相比，对它的适用性进行了独立评估。我们使用一个学生样本，评估了这些措施的重测信度（N = 88；使用比以前的研究更长的时间间隔）和对随机响应的敏感性。在线附录中提供了关于收敛效度，准则效度以及连续性优于离散量度的优势的分析。与替代方法相比，Slider Measure具有最高的重试可靠性。但是，它以一种不平衡的方式对随机响应进行分类，将绝大多数随机响应分配给合作和个人主义的方向，而不是无私和竞争的方向。
